I'll have to see, the person responsible for sending the parts isn't very fast The diff from LeonV isn't even picked up yet, that should have been done previous week on a monday... Hope everything works out.. or the next time I'm going back to air shipment !

Update today: currently will be waiting for the parts to arrive from Charles and Leon ( thanks ! ) , can take a few weeks more...

at least you die in style

Hello Franco, Welcome to the club That's a real 80's car ! Gr Bart

I tried what Carl said, cut in half, but still won't come off, I tried everything.. torches... hammers...pullers.. grinders.. f_cking thing is welded to the damn axle ! Charles I send you PM .. if you can send it to there would be nice ! I will pay you for the costs don't worry. @ Carl: allready pulled everything from under the car... so it's easier to replace with a good axle now..

I sent you pm, a friend can help, he ships from San Francisco.. @ LeonV: also pm'ed you about the diff !

Driver side front ( left ) as you can see on the pic. standard shipping I guess? I'll send you a pm

nope, haven't found one yet, can you help?

One side done, torqued the wheel bearings down the factory specs according to the FSM. Will torque all the bolts from the suspension down when the car is under load on the ground, now they are just hand tight. The other side I can't finish, because the outer wheel bearing is molted to the damn axle ! I need to get a new axle first The horror:

Looks awesome ! By the way you gotta look at the door alignment though, the driver's side looks s bit out.

I'm doing mine now to while rebuilding the suspension parts with new bushings etc.. looks about the same as hardway above, I just use motip high gloss black, and cleaned the parts with a wire brush

prob to much fuel..

Not my cup of tea either, but it's something different he is doing. I have to note on the stretched tire, that this is actually dangerous. Since the tire's wall is stretched outside it's dimensions, and this causes a weakness into the tire.

If the distributor is one tooth of, it should still idle and run.. or was it not assembled properly ?

Ignition issue

Okay, so today I got some more things done again. Currently only thing I'm waiting for is the T/C rods. I got the old steering rack rubbers replaced with polythurane ones, from the kit from Prothane ( Z-partshouse ). I got the new waterpump in, new v-belt, and also did a rebuild on the alternator and gave it some new bearings ( the old ones where noisy ), cleaned everything up etc.. New washer tank with new motor from Mitsuba, new oil filled coil from Hitachi, etc. Hope to get it back on it's wheels coming 2 weeks.

349 dollar ! The original mounting holes are still there, so he'd better weld the extra holes shut, or just keep it that way. I don't think he's on a mega budget.

My main focus is keeping it original. But thanks.

Yup ! And they wonder why the economy is ****ed!

Hope you get it running now.

Well you can still use it, but it would be nice if there was just 3 holes left maybe you can hire some welder or a friend who can help you?

pm sent !

Nice ! Now you can also clean, inspect all the parts from your first one, and swap to the new body. WTF happened on the last pic ? The original holes are still there.. weld the other ones shut and smooth out, or weld in a part from your old car.
